| Children protest on behalf of their brothers and sisters in Gaza, London, July 26th 2014 |
This is what they say on their Facebook page:
MUMS 4 CHILDREN OF PALESTINE
EID TOTAL BOYCOTT OF ASDA, TESCO, WAITROSE, SAINSBURYS UNTIL END OF 29 JULY 2014
This group has been created because of the affinity mothers and
grandmothers feel for the plight of the people of Palestine. In this
month of July 2014 Israel has mercilessly bombed Gaza resulting in
countless deaths, suffering, trauma and horrendous injuries, mental and
physical.
WE ARE SICKENED AT SEEING BABIES, CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN WITH UNBORN BABIES IN THEIR WOMBS BEING MURDERED!
We feel helpless as we do not have much power to effect justice for the Palestinians, who have suffered for decades. But what power we do have is our spending power. We often make the decisions in our families on what we purchase for our families and homes. And now we are using this power to force change.
In the first instance, we want to use this power to transform our buying patterns and to boycott companies, supermarkets and other outlets that sell produce from Israel and the Occupied Territories. We are bringing our local Mums together to effect real change - because money speaks!
We have had enough of British companies propping up Israel economically, which allow it to act with impunity. We will no longer be complicit in this genocide because we will no longer buy Israeli & OT produce. We will run Total Boycott Strikes targeting all the supermarkets until they comply with our demands.
We are demanding that all supermarkets:
• Stop sourcing all their produce from Israel
• Stop sourcing their produce from the Occupied Territories
• Support Palestinian Farmers and other ethical producers around the world
We are an organic movement of Mums of all backgrounds and this is only the beginning. We are not going to stop until children of Gaza can sleep safely in their beds in a free Palestine and there is a JUST resolution for the Palestinians.

Why boycott until 29.7.14?
ReplyDeleteShould boycott until the super markets drop dealing with Israel!
Keep up the good work ia
but only boycotting a few Israeli things, ignorant of other products, and therefore continuing to support Israeli economy.
ReplyDeleteIsraeli human rights org http://www.btselem.org - @btselem - has just listed the names of all the dead Gaza children to date. This is a cross-post from Wembley Matters 'Jon Snow and Michael Rosen speak out for the children of Gaza'.
